It's going to be a little while before I can fix the last two songs missing from the pack (Abbott & Hines and Glen Raphael). If they could post links for everyone to listen, it would be greatly appreciated. I will also see about sending those two (1 and a 1/16?) songs to the judges via e-mail. ...

This round has been interesting to say the least. We literally had 5 songs partially written, and had the main computer die before we could mix the final version. So, out of the ashes, we wrote a scathing song about the damn computer that screwed us over, and the ideas that were in the original vers...

Blame it on Ginger by Boffo Yux Dudes I'm pissed beyond belief. I was so close to relief. After a dozen ideas and bunch of rough drafts, it was finally coming together. The lyrics were there but the music was fair and needed some punching - whatever. The tone was withdrawn and it wasn't that long wi...

But I bet it is related to protein.

Some very curt reviews from your competition. Boffo Yux Dudes - If there's one thing I can abide even less than a bad song, it's an INTENTIONALLY bad song. How you eluded elimination this round is beyond me. I think I wasn't clear. The puns were intentionally bad. The song was not. There's not much...

Boffo Yux Dudes - I like the harmonica. Not much else. It doesn’t sound like you guys are trying. Hmm... I liked the harmonica as well. I know we went through several vocal versions - Tom Waits and Leon Redbonesque versions kinda fell flat. And we stripped the sound down to somthing very simple to ...

Bram Tant Bram finds his guitar. Nice riff. Not the best choice to have the drums in stereo, and pan the vocals and guitar full L/R. You have some passion in the lyrics, but it's overmodulating the mic. Good effort. "finds his guitar" ? I always find my guitar, since it's the basis of my ...

I will get to reviews later but some idle comments: Boffo Yux Dudes: These are quite possibly the worst lyrics I have ever heard in my life. Give yourself an uppercut. I liked you better when you sounded like me. Someone got it. Bravo! You can't come up with lyrics that bad without a few rough draf...

Round 1 was a very strong batch of songs. Impressive. It's going to be tough for the judges to choose as we go along with this many good players in the mix. Here are a few thoughts on some of the entries... Abbott & Hines Liked the piano and lyrics for this one. You're making progress. There sti...

I thought that was the case. We usually toss out the first few ideas on a challenge as the obvious path others will take, and go down a different way. We might lose points on being obtuse, but gain them for originality. Plus I'd rather try to plow some new ground if possible.

BYD is in. Submitted and lyrics up.
NUR EIN!

I had a quick technical question - I thought the song title didn't have to be in the song lyrics, but the subject matter needed to be addressed as well as the challenge. Am I off in this assumption?

Niv -

I think you missed our earlier post. Autotrophs are basically clones. So they are all 'First Blood' relations. We didn't want to do the Vampire/liquid theme, so we went that way. Zig instead of Zag. Might not have been clear, but the title and challenge was met.

Last batch of thoughts on Round 0 songs Manhattan Glutton - Good Guitar work. Flowed very nicely with the transition into the bridge. Solid effort. Merisan - A pleasant surprise - a nice twist on the vampire theme turning it into a fetish. The guitar and accordion work very well together. In my top ...

Here's a few thoughts on songs so far, since others are putting their 2 cents in. More to come. JoAnn Abbott and Caleb Hines - Interesting piano ballad. I like the counterpoint between your voices. Not something that I'll keep in heavy rotation on the iPod, but it's a solid effort. Adamadamant - I k...

Roymond -

That took me a while to figure out what was in the circle. I must need glasses. Wait a minute - I DO have glasses....

BLT song is here. You also might want to get the other delayed entry, Abbott & Hines.

Thanks, Generic - We had numerous issues, and those fly in parts had some fun integrating when I sent them to Al in Chicago. Gotta love making music across time zones. The thought process behind the 'First Blood' was that autotrophs are basically clones of each other, and 'First Blood' relations. It...

The Boffo Yux Dudes -First Blood Well, the feeling is right And when I’m ready I can go all night All I need is the sun I got food and love for everyone Chorus: I’m my own autotrophic love Inorganic compounds fit me like a glove Make my own sweet love like this It’s like photosynthesis I can do it b...
